Dashboards & Visualizations

Dashboard input display issue with fr-FR

I developed a dashboard using the en-US/en-GB splunk, but my client is using the fr-FR splunk by default. I was surprised to see that there seems to be a incompatibility issue.
I have a time select input that shows Last 7 days in the english splunk, while,
it shows Dernière %aunité %umontée in the french version. Which can be roughly translated btw as Last unit (something)?
See picture below for screenshots.

It doesn't seem to be a navigator issue (IE, chrome, firefox checked).

Any idea why I would have this? Any help would be appreciated.

What version of Splunk?

I've just tried this on my local test instance (7.2.3) and "Last 7 days" shows up correctly for fr-FR.

I use 7.0.2. Unfortunately I am not the one who can upgrade it. Thank you for testing it.

I have discovered that I am not the only one having this problem:

It's very weird, I have the feeling that I have to find a workaround but it seems to be a translation issue coming from Splunk.
